Modem setup problems

[Peter kazdera]

Hi all :)


Sorry to bother you with this probably age old question but I'm having difficulty 
setting up 
my internal 56k modem on Linux It is set to com4 irq3 but linux still can't see it 

I was just wondering if there is any special way of setting up the modem aside from 
telling 
linux that it is on com 4 within  xwindows 

I'm running redhat 5.2
